Grit and Grace in a World Gone Mad is the personal history of a dedicated group of American and Canadian missionaries and relief workers who saved thousands of Armenian, Greek and Turkish orphans from starvation, disease and harm in the Talas region during the dying days of the Ottoman Empire. From the initial jubilance of the 1908 Young Turk revolution, through the period of increased state repression, to the violence and destruction of world war and genocide, the courage and kindness of these remarkable humanitarians shine through as a beacon of light and hope.
